The gravel world's winter break usually lasted from the end of December to the beginning of March, which was more than two months.
Even cultivation organizations such as the Coalition government and the Hunters' Association had at least ten days off during the first few days of the year. Apart from a small number of people stationed there, the entire organization's operations were basically stagnant.
Naturally, Dynasty was no exception. Dynasty's standard holiday was also ten days. During the first few days of the year, apart from Huang Tianfu and the ten or so staff who had nowhere else to go, Lin Huang and his family were the only ones left in the Dynasty headquarters. The huge Dynasty headquarters seemed deserted.
Since he missed the New Year's Eve, Lin Huang agreed to the unfair condition of Lin Xin shopping with him.
In reality, he was considering that he would leave the gravel world soon after the New Year, so he wanted to spend more time with Lin Xin while he still had time. After all, there were many unknowns about the great world. He might not have enough power to protect himself, so it was unrealistic to bring Lin Xin along.
After eating the soup dumplings that Lin Huang brought back, Lin Xin began to complain about shopping.
"Can't you just stay here on the first day of the New Year?" Lin Huang looked helpless.
"But it's boring. Look, there aren't many people in the entire Dynasty now. There's no new year atmosphere at all." Lin Xin found a very suitable reason. "Sister Bloody happens to be here too. Let's call Brother Xiao Mo, and then you can summon Little Witch and Sister Kelly. Let's go shopping together."
"Summon Little Witch and Kelly? What are you trying to do? Tear down Emperor City? "Lin Huang asked with a glare.
"They're girls. Both of them and Sister Bloody can give me some suggestions when I'm shopping. I can't possibly refer to your and Brother Xiao Mo's rustic taste when buying things, can I? "Lin Xin pouted.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with my taste." Lin Huang had never felt that there was anything wrong with his taste.
"Okay …" Lin Xin did not continue to argue with Lin Huang. Instead, she took out ten lipsticks, unscrewed them one by one, and asked Lin Huang, "What's the difference between these ten lipsticks?"
Lin Huang glanced over and frowned. "They're both red. What's the difference?"
"Sister Bloody?" Lin Xin turned around to look at Bloody.
Bloody glanced at them and said expressionlessly, "From left to right, they are: 405 Tomato Red, 200 Mud Red, 501 Red Bean, 154 Plum, 407 Gray Bean, 409 Dark Plum, 12 Pink, 333 Maple, 80 Ruby, and 317 Vitality Orange."
"Absolutely correct!" Lin Huang turned his head and smiled at Lin Huang while squinting his eyes. "Brother, what kind of suggestions can you give me if I want to buy lipsticks later?"
Lin Huang was speechless. "Alright, you win."
Lin Huang secretly sighed after summoning Kelly and the Witch. 'Fortunately, this girl has no idea that I have four Bug Tribe Queen Mothers in the form of little lolis.'
Kelly, who had elevated to quadruple mutated, wore a golden and purple dress armor. The dress armor did not look like it was made of metal. Instead, it looked more like a combination of metal and cloth. It even swayed in the wind. Moreover, the design looked elegant. The patterns and patterns were complicated but elegant. One could tell that it was tens or even hundreds of times more expensive than other dress armors of the same level.
Kelly's face was finally unmasked. It was a beautiful face, but the expression on her face was telling people not to get close to her. The most unique thing was her eyes. There were no eyeballs at all. All that could be seen was golden lightning that was shooting out.
On the other hand, the Witch no longer looked like a 15 or 16-year-old girl. She had completely transformed into a long-legged mature lady. She wore a short black dress that showcased her long legs to the fullest. Apart from her long legs, her breasts and buttocks were perfectly proportioned. She looked enchanting.
As for her face, she looked like a seductive vixen. Perhaps any man would not be able to resist looking at her a few more times. She could charm everyone with just a glance.
It was Lin Xin's first time seeing the duo's brand new form. She was stunned on the spot.
She only snapped back to her senses a while later. "Both of you should change. You're too eye-catching. Sister Kelly, cover your eyes with a pair of sunglasses … "
Lin Huang contacted Xiao Mo when Lin Xin was changing the two ladies.
Xiao Mo was stunned to see the Witch and Kelly when he arrived. He could not help but ask Lin Huang about the two ladies' background. He was even more incredulous when he heard that they were imperial beasts.
It was past eight in the morning when the two ladies were done changing.
Lin Huang and the rest then left the house and walked to the business district.
Lin Huang and the rest were a group of two men and four women. All of them were handsome men and beautiful women. They attracted attention as soon as they walked on the street.
If not for the fact that everyone in Emperor City knew Lin Huang, many people might have thought that Emperor City was going into the entertainment industry and the six of them were going to debut as a group.
Lin Huang and Lin Xin were used to being watched, but Xiao Mo felt a little uneasy.
Among the three summoning beasts, Bloody and the Witch did not mind. However, Kelly did not like the feeling of being watched.
The six of them attracted even more attention as they walked to the business district.
The commercial street was bustling with people, the pedestrians weaving in and out. The shops around them did not actually have a break. There were staff taking turns to be on duty. Without enough manpower, the efficiency was undoubtedly much lower than usual. This caused customers to spend more time shopping than usual, and there were more people queuing up. The entire business district was even more crowded than usual.
"There are so many people today!" Lin Xin said to Lin Huang, "You told me that people should stay at home on the first day of the New Year."
"Hurry up if you want to buy anything. We'll have lunch together after we're done shopping." Lin Huang changed the topic directly.
"How do you know what to buy if you don't shop?" Lin Xin gave a different logic.
Lin Huang wanted to argue with that logic, but he gave up on it after thinking about it. He recalled a saying that he had heard before. 'Don't try to argue with women because they always have a way to prove themselves right.'
The two men and the three humanoid pets followed Lin Xin to shop one shop after another.
Lin Huang noticed that Lin Xin had no purpose at all when she shopped. She had no idea what she wanted to buy.
If Lin Huang were to shop by himself, he would choose the type of item he wanted to buy as soon as possible. He would then eliminate other types of items and only shop for that type of item.
For instance, if he wanted to buy a T-shirt, he would only look at the shops that had T-shirts. He would skip the shops that did not have T-shirts after glancing at them.
However, this was Lin Xin's logic when it came to shopping.
'Eh, this shop has hats. Let's go. This shop has nice bags. Let's go. This shop has cool sunglasses. Let's go. Wow, this shop has cute dolls. Let's go. This wedding dress is nice. Let's go. The gym equipment is neat. Let's go.'
After shopping for the entire morning, they went to approximately 20 shops and tried up to 100 products. In the end, Lin Xin decided not to buy any of them.
Bloody and the other two female imperial monsters did not think much of it. Nobody knew if it was because they were females like Lin Xin or because monsters were curious about the human world, but they had a great time shopping with Lin Xin.
Although Kelly did not show it on her face, Lin Huang clearly noticed that she would stretch her hand out to touch some of the products when she saw them.
Xiao Mo had no expression on his face. When Lin Huang was not around, Lin Xin always dragged him out to shop. He was used to such torture.
However, Lin Huang felt that shopping with Lin Xin was more tiring than refining Virtual God rank-9 Godhead.
At least, he could see the refining progress bar increasing every day when he refined the Godhead. However, he did not buy anything after shopping with Lin Xin for the entire morning. The progress bar remained at 0%.
After having lunch with Mr. Fu, Lin Xin's stamina was full again in the afternoon. She brought Lin Huang and the rest to go shopping again.
Mr. Fu even asked Lin Huang what he was going to do in the afternoon during lunch. As soon as he heard that he was going shopping with Lin Xin, he left with the excuse that he was getting old and needed a nap after lunch.
Since it was New Year's Eve, all the shops on the commercial street closed earlier than usual.
They shopped until almost 9 p.m. on the first day, and all the shops were closed. Lin Xin then returned to Dynasty's headquarters, feeling rather upset.
At night, Lin Huang brought Huang Tianpu and the members who stayed on duty to have a reunion dinner together. It was considered as making up for the New Year's Eve dinner yesterday.
On the second and third day after that, Lin Huang and Xiao Mo followed Lin Xin to shop early in the morning and late at night. They would leave the house at 8 am and return past 10 pm.
For the three days, Lin Xin brought the group of people to shop at the five biggest commercial streets and seven large complexes in Emperor City.
After visiting at least 300 shops and looking at up to 1,000 products, Lin Xin eventually bought a pair of shoes, a shoulder bag, and over ten gifts for Bloody and the other two.
She wanted to buy things for Lin Huang and Xiao Mo, but both of them rejected her outright.
Lin Huang was finally relieved when they returned to the Emperor Palace on the third night of the Chinese New Year.
"The three-day torture is finally over!"
